Long delays at Vancouver airport due to security staff shortages
“We’re aware that CATSA’s contracted security screening provider at YVR is experiencing a significant and unexpected staffing shortage today,” YVR staff said, in an email.
“Passengers continue to be processed through security screening but are experiencing longer than normal wait times at pre-board screening points. We haven’t seen any significant increase in passenger numbers. This week we averaged 67,000 passengers per day at YVR, and today’s number was estimated at 69,000. This is not the experience we want people to have at YVR and we apologize.”
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority is a Canadian Crown Corporation responsible for the security screening of people and baggage at 89 airports around the country.Canadian airlines, airports top global list of delays – Jul 4, 2022
